Posting more for poking fun at NatPo and the individuals stoking this controversy than sharing actual news.
Usually people would post a archive mirror or a screenshot. Otherwise it’s like buying a Tesla to shit driver seat while driving it around to poke fun of Elon.
The Camp of the Saints was written by the French author Jean Raspail in 1973. Celestini describes it as a dystopian novel about a caravan of immigrants coming to Europe by boat from an unspecified South Asian country.
The migrants are depicted in an unambiguously racist way: as rapists, as people who sell their children for money and do other degrading acts and as a threat to European society.
…
The book has been referenced by Stephen Miller, the architect of the Trump administration’s brutal attempt to increase deportations and imprisonment of immigrants in U.S. cities. Steve Bannon, a former strategist for U.S. President Donald Trump, has also talked about the book.
The National Post’s review of the book acknowledges that the novel is “generally considered a racist book towards Indians.” But the bulk of the piece is devoted to arguing the book’s ideas and warnings about “third-world migration” have merit and should be more widely read.
I’m not sure this will change anything for you and I’m only even commenting due your upvote count in my tagger.
There is very prevailent thing from right wing these days where specific phrases or words make people very uncomfortable and for that they like to use them even more.
You should know that even many on the left feel very negatively towards actual Communism and there’s a lot of Socialism without actually getting into Communism.
I would advise on reflecting on the manner of how you convey your point.

If people want to upvote things based on titles, the article content is basically mocking how stupid you are.
Socialists don’t understand basics. So if New York can elect Mamdami, one should never assume Canadians are too intelligent to come back to the decimated NDP left behind by Mr. Singh, and give it a voice Mr. Carney can’t ignore and perversely – from their point of view – do the Conservatives a bit of good, too.
Here’s another gem from the same author:
Stephen Harper’s former speechwriter from 2009 to 2015, Hannaford started on his topic of “God has given us the answers to the problems that we have.”
He claimed one “biblical truth” is a gender binary.
Hannaford claimed teachers are “ordered” to teach sex-ed curriculum that “50 years ago, if they would have said it in the classroom, would put them in jail.” He did not provide any details.
As someone who said the same when they removed the Carbon tax I do somewhat agree.
But contextually the BC NDP is very unpopular in the latest polling and people are extremely price sensitive these days. I’m not really sure the removal will really help people out much but it will gain some votes and allow them to point the finger at people like Loblaws for the inflation.
BC really should have done something like this as well. They were going to be in a deficit either way, might as well try to quell the people with something like this.
Food and drinks considered “basic groceries” are already exempted from the tax in Manitoba, including fruits and vegetables, most meat and milk products, eggs, coffee and oil.
Winnipegger Sanjay Sewpaul, who has four kids and pays about $1,500 on groceries each moth, said the move is good news and likely to help businesses, but he doesn’t feel like it will “do too much” for consumers.
He spent $305 on groceries in Winnipeg on Tuesday, including $6.58 in PST.
Been meaning to post this somewhere. These are the cars currently made in Canada
I believe given how aggressive the Chinese manufacturers has been with the impending launch that the current limits is probably going to opened substantially and Carney trying to slip enough through before Trump tries to completely pulls the plug on the current manufacturing that is shipped to America.
People with low literacy. Not only do a lot of people just read the titles but they barely give much effort doing that these days.
Also noticed a lot more sloganeering/low effort comments here recently.
Probably last update for this but it also makes this insanely outrageous. Even the Conservative website is more straightforward then CBC.
As usual Pierre is omitting and over simplifying things. Otherwise just going out of his way now to pander to Trump.
During a recent parliamentary committee hearing, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said that Ottawa would ensure “safeguards” are put in place to prevent the vehicles from transmitting information back to China.
There was also discussion to put more Blackberry software in the cars even shipped outside of Canada.
The minister revealed there are “active conversations” on how domestic firms might complement new Chinese investment, including with Ottawa-based software developer QNX, owned by BlackBerry.

The auto plan would also remove the GST from Canadian-made vehicles, end the Liberal government’s electric vehicle subsidies, and ban vehicles that use Chinese or Russian-connected software.
The Canadian Press via CTV:
Poilievre’s plan would also ban vehicles that use Chinese- or Russian-connected software. Additionally, the Conservatives are aiming to create a “harmonized North American cybersecurity and data standard” and ban Chinese vehicles from “proximity to Canadian Forces bases and other sensitive or strategic infrastructure,” a background document outlined.
Globe & Mail and even Post media straight up says he’ll ban Chinese vehicles. I won’t link either since I also consider them to be shit news sources, but CBC is really doing something ugly here.

Also to point out this stuff is killer to people who support CBC. This CBC article really dances around the guy trying to kill one of the major Canadian deals with a American opponent. I’d paste quote but the way they frame what the guy said and the words China\Chinese barely attempts to convey anything meaningful in context.

The reason I’m posting this here and overall context:
Tldr: Macron is a moron. He should have withdrawn his soldier from a active war zone.
No one was injured in the first attack, after which Italy said it was temporarily withdrawing its military personnel from the base.
This is pretty wild. The judge made judgement not friendly to America so she got sanctioned which even outside of America means she can’t use a lot of services.
For example even in Canada if you couldn’t use proper IOS and Google Android it would make it very difficult to use mobile bank apps given how current app security works.
This summer Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court (ICC), arrived at her home in The Hague and, as was her habit, called out “Alexa”.
There was silence. The voice-activated assistant did not respond. “Alexa was dead. She wouldn’t talk to me,” Prost recalled in an interview with The Irish Times.
For those wondering about the numbered of sanctions people.
According to OFAC, there are approximately
12,000 names on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN) list, [17] which is the most restrictive category of targeted U.S. sanctions, targeting U.S.-designated terrorists, officials and beneficiaries of certain authoritarian regimes, and international criminals (e.g. drug traffickers) by blocking their U.S. assets and restricting U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with them

Yes it’s pretty in line with the what they do these days. He loses they rage over the institutional people out to get them, he wins they’ll rage over institutional people out to get them.
The guy is a idiot. The CBC should broadcast news with substance and accuracy neither are ever present from Conservative dialogue these days.
I also don’t know how CBC could lose this one since they probably have hundreds of articles in the last few years showing they go out of their way to find a Conservative to provide their idiotic opinion.
He said he felt shows like Power & Politics would just have Liberal talking points on all the time, and that as a network, the CBC needed balance.
“There were repeated episodes of Conservatives being blocked. I mean, I have the G-chats right here. I said in terms of getting folks on, that we need to have balance,” Dhanraj said.
Given the history of people who cross getting relected I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those Conservatives show up on the board of companies associated to Carney.
For Idlout her unique geographic(Nunavut) position and with the current Artic/Military spending she could see some seat winning funds going to her riding.
And this is also proves my response a few days ago regarding the NDP.
The article doesn’t really mention how they’d keep the redirection of the arms once received the the initial nations. Seems like some sort of honor system unless they want to cut off the future sales.
The Bloc Québécois expressed reservations as well. Bloc MP Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe said the bill is well intentioned but too broad…
He also said the U.S. may simply choose not to play ball.
“The idea that the United States would start asking for Canada’s approval to ship small arms and light weapons is wishful thinking,” he said.
The NDP will select its next leader at the Winnipeg Convention held from March 27-29, 2026.
Just want to point out this would have given a opportunity for a potential NDP leader to gain a seat if they had some sense of urgency.
One of the thing people don’t bring up is how poorly ran the NDP is from the perspective of the backroom leaders.
Comments like this is why I don’t spend much time here anymore. Particularly how popular it is.
The article is fairly short and straightfoward.
It’s just a few short paragraphs before it shows a graphic indicating only 9% of 2023 articles made a connection to the burning of fossil fuels
Then they mention the 2024 number and the 2025 numbers.
Posting a couple links from CBC in no way disputes the findings from the article. I don’t even think this person read the damn thing.
